OPENING ATTRACTIONS.

OPENING ATTRACTIONS.
We can't begin to tell you what we will
offer as attractions at our Opening, BE-, ause
the variety Is to) extensive. We d. say,
however, that some 1mpcrt d Novel les will
be shown on Wednesday which may NJ be
there on Thursday and Fri lay. The reason
forihis Is that we propose exhibiting 81 me
specialtics that are abso utely new and sur-
passinely beautiful. We expect they will
be sold, and they cannot be duplicated.
In Trimmed Goods for Spring Wear we
will show the best productions OF our Pre-
nlier MOdiste, whose artistic endeavors have
contributed so much to the enviable reputa-
tion we enjoy as Artistic Milliners.
In our Untrimmed Department we will
show very large stock OF carefully selected
Strdws purchased direct from the manufac-
turers. When we say that we purchase from
the manufacturers we do not deliberately de-
ceive you, nor mislead you, nor lle to you--
as some selfterned Milliners have done.
We buy largely, but We are not the sole
support Of any producer who would suffer
horrible disaster were We to withdraw our
orders. II We have competitors, the fact
troubles them infinitely more than 1t does
us. Our work is our only recommendation.
We mark our goods just as low as we can
affo 10 sell. On this point we recognize
no competition, aud in the matter Of work.

The McAullffe- Carney Fight.

New YORK, Nov. i5.-The Worlds
Boston special says. Probably never be-
fore has So much excitement among
sporting men been witnessed as to-day
and tonight. The great battle for the
lightweight championship of the world
and $4,000 and a belt was on, and the
fancy was wildly e%ndeavoring to get
tips as to the battle ground. Great Sc
cresy was maintained, and the spectators
were limited to ten on each side, who paid
$3.50 each-making up the purse. y The
ring was pitched under cover a few miles
outside of lhis city, and the wealthiest
patrons of the ring in New York, Proyi-
dence and Boston were present.
The men were weighed at noon to-day
at South birmingham. Both scaled
within the limit and went to sleep, pre-
pared to meet again at s o'clock in the
ring, but they did not meet at that hour.
Eight o clock passed and the men did not
appear and the crowd became anxious.
It was said McAuliffe did not want to
fight and the delay was because of his
actions. Others said his hackers were
waiting for the appearance of the police.
Some Others said that the fact that even
money prevailed had caused Carney to
weaken, and the sports were downcast.
10 day betting was brisk, and it is safe
to say at least SIS, 900 was wagered
In town. Tom Reilly, of Providence, bet
$500 against $3.50 on McAuliffe.
Every effort was made to secure u re-
port of the fight, but up to 3 o'clock this
morning secresy was so well maintained
that it is impossible to obtain any news of
the result.

Gen. sherldan,s Report-

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-Lieut Gen.
L, IL. Sheridan has presented his an
nual report to the secretary of the war.
At the date of the last consolidated re-
turns the army consisted OF 2,22O officers
and "a, 235 men, including Indian scouts
The lieutenant general briefly sums up
the condition of the various divisions of
the army and says that while it has been
free from Indian hostilities of any magni-
tude many operations OF a mature nature
have been rendered necessary.
Gen. Sheridan does not look favorably
upon the proposition of Gen. Miles to
separate the Indians now at San Carlos
into several camps about 100 or 200 miles
apart, deeming it for the best interests of
the territory of Arizona and the Indians
themselves that they be kept in n body
and the duties necessary for their control
be concentrated at a single point.
The artillery, infantry and cavalry
schools are reported to be doing good
work and the army has greatly improved
in rifle practice. The general renews his
recommendation that 5000 men be added
to the army and that two majors ard two
captains be added to each infantry regi-
mcnt. He urges as a measure highly
promotive of efficiency the retirement of
about eighty old officers who are unfit for
duty, but where their retention on the
active list entails additional work on the
men who are at the same time withheld
from promotion thereby.
On the question of arms, the report
says the time is near at hand when the
army should be supplied with machine
guns, and sa! that unless an effective
arm of this character is developed by
American manufacturers very soon, the
government should adopt some foreign
repeating gun. Gen. Sheridan concludes
his report with the recommendation that
the general government extend all posi-
bic aid to the national guard of the diff
ferent states. They should be armed
with the best weapon, amply provided
with complete camp and garrison equip
age, and instructed in various drill aud
exercises according to tactics and systems
followed in the regular army.
The general recommends that favorable
consideration of the subject be commend
ed to congress.

Blown Up With Dynamite.

ORANGEvMLE, Ont, Nov. I5.-To-
night the house Of Inspector Anderson
was again blown up by a dynamite car
fridge placed on the veranda, The two
front rooms were badly shattered and the
veranda completely wrecked. Mrs. An
dersOn was alone in the house and was
badly shocked. The inspector had lust
left the house and was only about ten
yards away and was stunned by the
conclusion. A note was tackled to the
fence warning him to dcsist from his eff
forts to enforce the prohibition law. In
tense excitement prevails. This is the
sixth dynamite explosion in Urangeville
in two years.

other than the one referred to herein. but
L confined my application for review to
the question of indemnity for land ex-
cluded from the operation of the granting
acts that being OF overshadowing IN
portance. In presenting this application,
l informed the secretary that it would not
be made public unless by himself. Public
attention having now been called to the
matter | shall feel at liberty to furnish the
press with a copy of this letter after it
has been communicated to you and a copy
transmitted to him.
The issue raised by me was strictly one
of law. The presentation of the issue was
strictly in the line of legal argument. In
The letter addressed to me that issue is not
met and the effect has been to create the
erroneous impression that the issue was
one Of authority, and that | had refused
10 execute the secretary's official orders.
This diversion Of the issue from one of
legal construction to one of authority and
INSTRUMENTATION is the substitution of force
for argument, diversion of the public
mind from the merits of the case, and if
not resisted by me in this presentation to
you would be the suppression by that
power OF a proper and considerable effort
on my part as commissioner of the general
land office to secure in the public interest
an impartial hearing before the secretary
OF the interior on the purely legal question
affecting the administration of the office
with which | am charged.
The office of commissioner of the gen
eral land Office has been one of intense
labor and high responsibility. Having
sought 1t at your hands [ have continued
TO hold it only out of a sense of duty,
with a view of effecting some good to the
public. | have endeavOred to discharge
my full duty in the face of many discour-
agements, and much calumny and abuse
from those whose interests were to defeat
the policy pursued. If these decisions
t~oreshadow a change in the official policy
on this subject, knowing well what this
will mean in its practical application, |
could not of course, with my sense of
duty, be an instrument to effect the
change.
Having ever, as now, regarded the
commission | hold as subject to your re.
call, and desiring to relieve you of any
possible embarrassment, | herewith ten
der you my resignation of the office of
COMMISSIONS of the general land office,
and ask its early acceptance.
In thus severlDg my connection with
your administration. | beg to assure you
OF my earnest wish that the same wisdom,
frmness and integrity which has thus far
so eminently marked your administration
may continue to enhance you in the esti-
nation of your countrvmen. Very re
specially, WIN A. J. SPARKS.

aladstone,s Testimony for Parnell.


LONDON. April 2s.-It transpires that
Gladstone, In his speech at the dinner
given by labor member of parliament
last night, declared his entire disbelief
In the accusations against the Irish
leaders. Gladstone said, in May, 1882,
Immediately after the assassination OF
Lord Cavendish and Secretary Burk In
Phoenix park, Parnell wrote him a letter
In reference to that crime. The letter,
which was obviously written under
great mental distress, threw consider
able light upon the topics OF the present
hour, and were strong evidence In
favor OF the contradiction OF the
Times maliciously forged letter.
Parnell apparently foresaw in the pub
lie mind how he would be associated
with crime and offered to place himself
without reserve in Gladstone's hands.
He wrote that he regarded the murders
with the utmost adherence and offered
to resign tue leadership Of the Irish party
and retire altogether from political life
vlsable 10 the interest OF Ireland.
Gladstone said he would refrain from
saying what reply he made, adding that
Ii was only short time since he OBJ
Parnell's assent to his mentioning the
matter. Abiding to the advice ten.
dered Parnell from certain quar-
tiers, that he bring action
against the Times. Gladstone's state
ment caused great sensation In the
clubs, but has not yet appeared in the
press. The conservatives talk OF ohsl-
longing the production Of the letters.

The schnabers Affair Settled.

PARIS, April 2S.-M. Herbette, French
ambassador at Berlin, telegrsphs that
yesterday evening he had an Interview
with Count Herbert Bismarck, German
minister Of foreign affairs, and that the
latter maintained that the French ter
ritory was not violated when Selma
bel was arrested. M. Herbette
adds, however, that Count Bismarck
states that Germany is inclined to ad-
nit that the arrest was irregular and
contrary to the Franco German frontier
convention Of 1877, and on this account
he will release N. Sohnabel, when the
letters alleged to have been written by
M. Guntch, are proved to be authentic.
The dispatch adds that the release of M.
Schnabel will take place today or at latest
tomorrow, and that Herbette is to have
another Interview with Count Bismarck
during the day.
The Journal Des Debats publishes q
dispatch from Berlin, stating that the
Schnabel affair has been amicably set
tied between Germany and France.

How Il Has Grown

The GSth anniversary establishment OF
the Independent Order OF Odd Fellows
In America was celebrated by the local
lodge Tuesday night with all due cere-
mOny. The order originally WAS merely
q oOnvivial club organized in England
during the latter part OF the l7Ih CEN
tury, In which there was cooperative
fund, providing for the sick, burial ex-
penses and widows and orphans. In
lslsand 1869 10 English branches were
materially reformed on the present
basis. The American order was estab-
lished under an English charter, dated
April Goth, 1919, by Thomas Wildey, an
English Odd Fellow, and there were
then only five members, but 1t has
grown until now 1t is one of the best and
strongest orders in the country. The
Daughters Of Rebecca, a female branch OF
the same order, was started In the Uni
ted States September, 1861.
